Good question, here is how I would approach the issue. I would quote $500 for the first three hours on site including the report and $100/hour for any additional time spent on site not to exceed $2000. No one really knows how long an inspection like this can last, so this is fair to everyone.

You would really inspect that size home for $2,000 max? I was thinking more like $10,000! Unbelievable house, I think it may be bigger than the town I live in!

Me too, but if I had that kind of money, my house would float, and I would not stay in one port for more than a week!

Looks like stucco. Better refer it to a specialist.

Is that your retirement wish???

Nice part about your plan is that if you don't like the neighbors, you can just motor along, beats the problem of trying to sell a house.
